Is 2023 the year we finally, finally feel the winds of competition start to blow across the landscape of soccer video games? For far too long FIFA has stood virtually unopposed as the sole proprietor of allowing us to live out our dreams of hitting the post five times in three seconds.
The National Women’s Soccer League getting added to EA Sports’ FIFA video game series felt too good to be true. The long overdue addition of the American league to the game took place on March 15.
It’s been a week since the update and players aren’t thrilled about how poorly they look in the game. Several players have taken to Twitter to show off just how bad the animations turned out.
The issues range from some player appearing much whiter in the game than in real life to being bald. Yikes EA.
For the first time in history the National Women’s Soccer League will be available on EA Sports’ FIFA video game.
On Wednesday, March 15, FIFA 23 will add the NWSL to the game. EA Sports gave fans a little teaser Friday by releasing the statistics for each player.
If you’re curious about the highest rated NWSL players on FIFA, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are the top 10.
1 Alex Morgan 90 (San Diego Wave)
2. Debinha 88 (Kansas City Current)
3. Sophia Smith 87 (Portland Thorns)
It didn't make much sense when EA Sports announced that women's club soccer was coming to FIFA 23 before launching with only the Women's Super League (England) and Division 1 Féminine (France) while omitting the National Women's Soccer League, but that's reportedly about to be remedied with a free March update ahead of the league's new season.
FIFA 23 marks the end of a 30-year era after Electronic Arts balked at the international governing body's demand of one billion dollars for a license renewal, paving the way for EA Sports FC 24 and beyond.
What bold new direction will EA take now that its longstanding relationship with FIFA is over?
EA Sports have always been the curators of cool, finding the vibe before it exists and getting it right every single time. Over the years, the FIFA soundtrack has become synonymous with playing the game in our youth and the immaculate vibes that came with it.
Everyone has their favorites. A culmination of great songs and the memories we hold near and dear make them more than regular music. It's the butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling you get when “Love Me Again” by John Newman plays in the bar or when your friend queues up “Love Natural” by Crystal Fighters in the car.
With the actual event just 19 days away, the FIFA 23 World Cup mode release date has been revealed by EA SPORTS as Wednesday, November 9, on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.
FIFA 23 World Cup mode is a free update that allows players to select any of the 32 qualified nations in an authentic recreation of the tournament in Qatar. You can also customize the competition and include teams that didn't make the finals, so supporters of Italy, Chile and Ireland can dream one final dream.
The FIFA 23 release time in the United States for players purchasing the standard edition of the game is nearly upon us, while those who've dropped a little extra on the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition get to enjoy three days early access.
EA Sports has released the FIFA 23 Soundtrack and it features a mix of household names and many relative unknowns. With Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Jack Harlow headlining the track list, many others steal the headlines like Ark Woods, Bianca Costa and Trueno.
FIFA music hits everyone differently and songs that fly under the radar at the beginning of the game can become fan favorites months down the line. As you play, make playlists of your favorite songs and listen to those as you drive around town or walk to class. Use this as a jumping-off point though.
It has officially been confirmed that this year, everyone's favorite mustachioed American soccer coach will be making an appearance in the FIFA video game series. Following a bit of speculation in recent weeks, a new tweet from Ted Lasso himself teased the announcement on Tuesday, before EA guaranteed it Wednesday.
